(Reuters) - Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has settled in nicely at the Premier League club and his performances on the pitch have shown he is leading by example in both attack and defence, manager Mikel Arteta said on Tuesday.

Odegaard's 30th-minute free kick earned Arsenal their second league win season with a 1-0 victory over Burnley. Arteta was impressed with how the 22-year-old Norwegian demanded the ball and also how he pressed the opponents to win it back.

"Martin has this capacity to do that with his talent, taking the ball in moments where others probably refuse to, but as well with his attitude, his rhythm and the way he presses and puts people under pressure. Arsenal play third-tier side AFC Wimbledon in the League Cup on Wednesday and Arteta was wary about the League One side who have been involved in some high-scoring encounters in recent games.

"They are really direct, physical but at the same time they have a big goal threat in many situations, so it will be a tough opponent."
